The Parish of Sixpenny Handley with Pentridge lies within the East Dorset District of Dorset.

It is located in the heart of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs AONB.

These pages provide some information on an area of the country that we enjoyed living in for almost twenty years.

More information about the Parish and its community is available at The Downsman which contains articles from the village magazine that I edited for nine years and for which I continue to maintain the website.
